When I try this, the redirect is a much longer URL, and pasting that into the

API explorer here:

  https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#sharing_get_shared_link_metadata

also fails to work.

This appears to be a hole in the documentation.  If someone shares a file with me,

I can see it in the results of the /2/sharing/list_received_files  API (when authenticating

with a Bearer token).

But I can't find any way to then programmatically download that file.
